This was a great overview course. I wish it was longer, but look forward to future offerings that take a more in depth look at developing for Android.

The trainer was very knowledgeable. The course was a good blend of what android platform is and how to do the basic programming on it.

I am a user experience designer (not and engineer), so this was a good overview of what it's like to develop for Android. This knowledge gives me some insight into Android app development and might help me communicate with the engineers on my project better since I have a better understanding of the framework and terminology of this platform.

Being an intermediate user I already knew most of the lecture but I did learn new techniques and technical information that I did not know. Very well structured and excellent learning experience. Will be taking an internals class to dive more into the C/C++!

Android Overview Class
on Aug 27 in San Francisco, CA

Blake is an engineer with more than 20 years of experience, much of it with Java. He's built systems as large as Amazon's massively scalable AutoScaling service and as small as a pre-Android OSS/Linux and Java based platform for cell-phones.

He's currently deep in Android. Blake is co-author of three books on Android, including O'Reilly's best-selling, "Programming Android" and the Wiley's upcoming "Enterprise Android".

Typically we divide the training days into four sessions. Two sessions before lunch, and two sessions after lunch. Between any two sessions, we take a break. Short 15-minute breaks in the morning and the afternoon, and usually an hour-long lunch-break.

The last hour is usually reserved for questions and answers.

Attendees are encouraged to arrive at least 20 minutes early on the first day of the class and 15 minutes early for the remainder of the training.
